Scepter
(Authority; Mace) A scepter in a dream means good conduct, emulating
the leading example of the Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, rising to
a high ranking position, or becoming an authority. A scepter in a dream also
could represent a wild son, a crooked man, or a hypocrite. Playing with a scepter
in dream means using the help of such a person and assisting him to lay hands
on his rivals. The crosier represents the human heart and the staff represents
man’s tongue. Thus, playing with a scepter in a dream means playing at will.
Whatever may affect a scepter in a dream can be interpreted as affecting one’s
son or his tongue. If one sees himself hitting a small ball with a septer, or playing
with a ball in his dream, it represents a dispute with his wife, or a fight with
a hypocritical person. A scepter in a dream also indicates the presence of jinn
spirits, wars, devastations, or it could represent past benefits. Hitting someone
with a scepter in dream means getting what one desires from him, but through
crooked ways. If one sees his governor or his boss carrying a scepter in dream,

Cummerbund
(Belt; Cincture; Sash; Waistband) In a dream, the broad band worn
around the waist, also known as a sash or a cummerbund represents one’s
father, mother or paternal uncle. Tying a cummerbund around one’s waist in a
dream means that one has exhausted half of his life. Owning many cummer¬
bunds in a dream means longevity. A cummerbund in a dream also represents
one’s son or it could denote a bigman. If a ruler offers a cummerbund to someone
in a dream, it means that he is appointing him to a high ranking position.
Wearing a cummerbund without ornaments in a dream means that one will
receive the help of a great and a noble person, including moral and financial
support. If one is rich, then it means that he will have a great friend to support
him and whose inner thoughts and intentions are better than what one may
think. If a poor person ties a cummerbund around his waist in a dream, it means
extra earnings or power. If the cummerbund is studded and adorned with jewels
in the dream, then such jewels represent one’s helpers, supporters or obedient
subjects. Such associates will carry on his commands whether they purport good
or evil. Somehow, such a leader will also be unjust and hypocritical. If the
ornaments are made of iron in the dream, it means that his associates are a
group of strong people. If the ornaments are made from copper, then such
associates care only for worldly gains. If the ornaments are made from led in the
dream, it means that they are weak people. If the ornaments are made from
silver in the dream, it means that the master or leader is a wealthy person and
he will be followed by a strong son who will carry the work of his father. If one
is given a cummerbund, and if he does not wear it in the dream, then it means
travels. A broken cummerbund in a dream means loss of power or perhaps one’s
death. If one sees a snake rather than a cummerbund around his waist in a
dream, it represents a money belt. A cummerbund in a dream also means work
for a jobless person, a wife for an unmarried person, and should it be carrying
many ornaments, then it means the added blessing of having several children.

Slapping on the cheek
(Blow; Criticize; Smack) To lightly slap someone in a
dream means to reprimand him, or to oblige him to recognize a favor, boasting
about one’s generosity, or constantly reminding the other person of some shabby
assistance. If one playfully slaps someone lightly on his cheek in a dream, it also
means that the latter owes him something or a favor and the opposite is
interpreted accordingly. Slapping someone’s face with anger in a dream means
that the victim will triumph over the assailant. To slap someone in a dream also
means recognition of his seniority or superiority. Threatening someone in a
dream also maybe a recognition of his superiority. (Also see Digging up the past;

Connections
(Social acquaintance) To have important connections in a dream
means compelling one’s enemy to retreat or to accept one’s conditions. To have
important relationships in a dream also cools the divine wrath, as when giving
charity in secret. This is true unless one’s connections or circle holds to a group
of evil companions, or if he mingles with a band of conspirators.

Shadow
(Under the sun, in the dark, or otherwise.) In a dream, a shadow
represents changes affecting one’s life in the world and his elevation or abasement.
A shadow in a dream also means guidance, repentance, true monotheism and
contemplating the Maker and His creation. If one moves but does not see his
shadow moving in a dream, it means abrogating the laws, discarding what is
permissible, adopting what is unlawful, death, becoming motionless, or losing
one’s senses. The same interpretation applies if one’s shadow disappears under
the sunlight, or under the moonlight, or in the night lights, or if his reflection
disappears from the water surface, or from any shiny surface. If one sees his
shadow dancing in a dream, it means falsehood, lies, stealing people’s money,
shifting one’s faith according to one’s personal interests, or that he criticize the
conduct of God’s Prophet, upon whom be peace. Dancing one’s shadow over a
carpet in a dream means invoking evil spirits, speaking their words after being
possessed by them, and it means trials, temptations and evil. (Also see Shade)

Hoopoe
(zool.) In a dream, a hoopoe represents a truthful messenger, an intimate
person, a spy, an arguing scholar, escape from adversities and sufferings, or

means having influence over someone in authority, or it could represent a
writer, or a perspicacious person but who has no religious commitment. Slaugh¬
tering a hoopoe in a dream means getting hold of such person. Owning a female
hoopoe in a dream means getting married. Slaughtering a female hoopoe in a
dream means deflowering a young girl.

Ring
In a dream, a ring represents peace, tranquility, authority, a wife, a child,
or a job, the reward of which will equal the value and size of the gemstone which
is placed on it. If one’s wife is pregnant, and if he sees himself wearing a golden
ring in a dream, it means that she will give birth to a son. The king’s ring in a
dream represents his kingdom. Cutting off a tight ring with a pair of pliers in
a dream means the end to one’s authority. Any incrustations on one’s ring in a
dream represent his goals. If the gemstone of one’s ring falls in a dream, it may
mean the death of his child, or the loss of his business. A broken ring in a dream
means divorce. Wearing a ring made of iron in a dream means that one will
receive benefits though with great strain on him. Wearing a golden ring carry ing
a precious stone in a dream means that such benefits will come with ease. If it
is a plain ring or a band with no stone, it means engaging in a strenuous project
and getting nothing out of it. Rings made of ivory or from an animal’s horn in
a dream represent glad tidings for a woman. Seeing someone in authority
stamping a document with his ring as a seal in a dream means that one will
receive an important political appointment. If one who is accustomed to wearing
a silver ring sees himself offering it as a gift to whoever he wishes in a dream,
it means that he will preside over an honorable post. Wearing the governor’s
ring in a dream means an appointment as a dignitary, or inheriting such a rank
from one’s father. If one’s father does not hold such a position, then it means the
opposite of one’s wishes. Finding a lost ring in a dream means earning money
from a foreign land, or having a new born son, or it could mean a marriage to
a righteous woman. If the stone of one’s ring seems unstable in the dream, it
means that one will be fired form his job. Removing one’s ring in a dream means
that one maybe removed from his job. If a woman sees herself removing her
wedding ring in a dream, it means the death of either her husband or of a close
relative. A ring in a dream also connotes a band, an encumbrance, or a shackle.
If one’s ring disappears and only the stone remains in the dream, it means that
once the responsibilities are gone, good memories of the person will remain. A
man wearing a golden ring in a dream represents innovation, and the results
will bring about afflictions, betrayal, or a revolt. Wearing a tight ring in the
dream means that one will be let off from a vicious woman, or that he will be
spared from a wicked duty. A borrowed wedding ring in a dream represents an
ownership that will not last. If one buys an engraved ring in a dream, it means
that he will own something he never owned before, such as a house, a vehicle,
or perhaps he may get married, or bear a child. If one sees rings being sold in
the open market in a dream, it means that the estates of the high society are
for sale or it could represent foreclosure. If one sees the skies raining rings in
a dream, it means that he will conceive a child during that year. If he is unwed,
it means that he will marry a rich and a virgin young woman during that same
year. If they are gold rings in the dream, it means that such a woman has lost
her wealth. If one places a ring in his little finger then removes it to place it on
his ring finger, then removes it again to place it on his middle finger in the
dream, it means that he solicits customers for a prostitute. If one notices his ring
sometime in his little finger, then in his middle finger, then in his ring finger
without his doing in the dream, it means that his wife will betray him with
another man. If he sells his ring for pennies or a handful of sesame, or for little
flour in a dream, it means that he will separate from his wife, though they will
have respect for one another, or it could mean that he will offer her a good
financial arrangement. Receiving a ring that is inlaid with a precious stone from
one’s son in a dream represents the good character and qualities of such a son.
A stone which is made from worthless glass beads in the dream denotes a weak
authority. A ring that is inlaid with a green sapphire in the dream means
begetting an intelligent son who will become a great man of knowledge. A
wooden ring in a dream represents a hypocritical woman. If a woman is offered
a ring in a dream, it means that she will get married, and for a married woman,
it means that she will give birth to a son. If the ring in one’s dream is interpreted
to mean money or clothing, then it represents one’s status and high esteem his
field. Receiving a ring as a gift in a dream also means happy news, or a marriage
to a beautiful woman. Seeing an atheist who publicly brags about his actions and
thoughts wearing a ring and turning its stone toward the palm of his hand in
a dream, it means that he engages in sodomy. If a believer turns his ring inside
during prayers in a dream, then it represents his modesty. Wearing a ring that
carries two gemstones, one to the outside and the other to the inside in a dream
means that one may chair two important appointments, material and a spiritual
ones, or inner and outer ones. Wearing a ring with a carnelian-red stone in a
dream means an end to one’s poverty. If a pious person, a religious person or an
ascetic receives a silver ring from God Almighty in a dream, it means his
salvation on the Day of Judgment. If he receives a silver ring from God’s
Messenger (uwbp) in a dream, it represents a gift of a greater knowledge. If it
is gold, iron, or copper, then it has negative consequences, because iron rings
represent the chains of the dwellers of hell-fire. Somehow, to wear a simple band
in one’s dream is better than wearing a heavy ring. Heavy rings in a dream also
may connote an assassination or deceit. On the other hand, large rings in a
dream also can be interpreted to mean something great, or something which
entails sizable benefits. Lead rings in a dream mean weak authority. If one
sends his ring to some people who returns it to him in the dream, it means that
he is asking to betroth someone from such a family, but his request will be
declined. If one sees his ring being forcefully pulled out from his finger in a
dream, it means that he will lose his rank or whatever the ring represents to
him. If one loses his ring in a dream, it means that he will experience something
he hates to see it happening to him. (Also see Games; Solomon’s ring)
Ringdove: (Dove; Pigeon; Turtledove) A ringdove in a dream represents a rebel¬
lious son, or a son who lies excessively, or a wife who lacks devotion and

Death
In a dream, death signifies religious failure, corruption and rising in status
in the world. This interpretation applies if one is carried on a bier or on a litter
and his funeral is accompanied with crying and lamentation except if he is
buried in the dream. If one witnesses his own burial in the dream, then it means
that his case is hopeless and that he will be seized by the world. One's followers
or assisting entourage will be as many as those who walk in his funeral in the
dream. However, he will conquer people and ride over their shoulders. If one dies
in his dream but does not have the look of dead people and there is no crying
over his death or a funeral in the dream, it means that one of his properties will
be torn down, or that a room in his house will collapse, or that a wall will cave
in, or it could mean that a pillar will breakdown. Such a dream also may signify
weakness in one's religious standing or blindness of his heart. Despite that, he
will live a long life. If one dies in a dream and finds himself looking like a dead
person, and if his body is washed and wrapped in a shroud, it also means
weakness in his religion. All the sorrow and crying one sees in this case,
represents his rising in rank and promotion in the world. Death in a dream also
signifies travels, or it could mean poverty. One's death and burial in his dream
also means that he will die short of repentance. If one comes out of his grave after
his burial in the dream, it means that he will repent for his sins before dying.
Death in a dream also signifies marriage, for a deceased person is washed and
perfumed, and a bridegroom also takes a bath and anoints himself with
perfumes on his wedding day. If one dies and is carried over people's shoulders,
though they do not bury him in the dream, it means that he will conquer his
enemy and should he qualify for leadership, he will attain it. To come back to
life after dying in a dream means that one will become rich and dispense with
poverty, or it could mean that he will repent for his sins. This dream also means
the safe home coming of a traveller. The death of an unknown woman in a dream

an irreligious and an ungodly person. Carrying a dead person in a different way
than one carries a deceased person to bury him in a dream means acquiring
unlawful money. Carrying a deceased person to bury him in a dream means
working for the governor.If one sees a deceased person sick in a dream, it means
that he is being questioned about forsaking his religious attendance during his
lifetime. If one sees the dwellers of the graveyards coming out of their grave to
eat people's harvest or food supplies in a dream, it means rising of food prices.
If he sees them drinking from the wells in a dream, it means that a great plague
will befall that town. If one sees a deceased person die, then if he walks in his
funeral in the dream, it means that someone among his children or in the family of that person will shortly die. If no crying or sorrow follows his death, then it
means that someone in his progeny will get married. What a deceased person
says about himself in a dream is true, for he has reached the abode of truth and
he can exercise no falsehood in that abode. If a deceased person tells something
in a dream, and if it does not take place, then it means that one is experiencing
confused dreams. If one sees a deceased person well dressed in a white or a green
garment, smiling and happy in a dream, it means that he is in that state one
witnessed in his dream. Otherwise, if one sees him disheveled, dirty, frowning
or crying in a dream, this also denotes his condition in the hereafter. If one sees
a deceased person sick in a dream, it means that his condition is contingent upon
the satisfaction of his debts and that he is awaiting the Divine justice to take
its course. Performing a funeral prayer for deceased people in a dream means
asking for forgiveness on their behalf or visiting their graves, or it could mean
admonishing someone with a dead heart, or it could mean bidding farewell to
traveling people or taking care of needy people. If one's wife dies and returns
back to life in a dream, it means making profits from a plantation or a farm.
Discovering a body of a deceased in a dream means finding money. Walking
behind a deceased person in a dream means following his footsteps or emulating
his trade or traditions, whether they be material or spiritual. If the Imam of the
country dies in a dream, it means destruction of that city by war. On the other
hand, if one sees a city in ruins in a dream, it means that the Imam has died.
If one sees that he is immortal in a dream, it means the nearing of his death.
Death in a dream also signifies being recalled to account for a major sin or a
crime. To die in a dream with no apparent reason or illness and to exhibit no
features of a dead person means longevity. To suffer from death-pangs in a
dream means being unjust to oneself or to others. To sees oneself dead and naked

of an unknown person in a dream, it means a warning about his success in the
world at the expense of his religious compromises. If one's son dies in a dream,

it means despair from relief. If one dies and gets buried in a dream, it means
his freedom. Otherwise, if he is entrusted with something, it means that he will
be required to deliver it back to its rightful owner. If one dies and gets buried
in a dream, it means that he will get married. If a sick person gets married in
a dream, it means that he will shortly die. If a married person dies and gets
buried in a dream, it means that he will divorce his wife or break a business
partnership or separates from his brothers, sisters and friends, or it could mean
that he may emigrate to another country. Otherwise, if he has already migrated
from his homeland, it means that he will return to it. Death in a dream has
positive connotation for someone in fear of something or a sad person or a sick
person. The death of one's brothers in a dream means the death of one's enemies,
or it could mean saving one's capital. Walking amidst dead people in a dream
means befriending some hypocrites. Walking in the company of a deceased
person in a dream means undertaking a long journey, or it could mean profits
from one's travels. Eating the flesh of a dead person in a dream means enjoying

will rejoice. If a deceased person eats something in a dream, it means that such
a commodity will become expensive. If one sees himself laying on a washing
table in a funeral home in a dream, it means that his sins will be washed away
and that his debts will be paid. If a deceased person asks someone to wash his
cloth in a dream, it means that he needs the prayers and forgiveness of the
person who saw him in his dream, or it could mean that one needs him to pay a debt he left behind or to ask people to forgive him his sins or to fulfill his will.
If one washes the deceased person's clothes in the dream, it means that the
deceased person will become free from his burdens in the hereafter. Transport-
ing dead people to the cemetery in a dream means that one is doing something
right. If he transports them to the marketplace in a dream, it means that he

something he left. If he looks beautiful, happy and well dressed in the dream,
it means that such happiness will become the inheritance of his descendants.
If one sees a deceased person busy, worried and ill dressed in a dream, it means
that he is engaged in a struggle that can only subside by the will of God
Almighty. If he is sick in the dream, it means that he is answerable to God
Almighty for his religious negligence. If the deceased person's face looks dark
or opaque in the dream, it means that he died as an unbeliever. If one sees a
deceased person sprightly, pleasant and casual in a dream, it means that one's
dream is mere hallucination, or that he is experiencing disturbed dreams, for
dead people do not joke and have their own duties to respond to. If one's deceased
father or mother come back to life in a dream, it means relief from distress and
abolishing of his fears. This is particularly stronger when one's deceased mother
is seen in the dream. Resurrecting a deceased person in a dream means giving
guidance to an unbeliever or admonishing an innovator. This also could mean
admonishing heedless people who will repent for their sins. If one sees a
deceased person die again in a dream, it means that someone by the same name
will shortly die. If a deceased person complains about a migraine headache in
a dream, it means that he is being questioned about his religious negligence or
his injustices or his abominable attitude toward his father or mother. If the
deceased person complains about his eyes in the dream, it means that he is being

means that he will shortly die. If a healthy person sees that same dream, it
means that what he says is false. Having sexual intercourse with a deceased
person in his grave in a dream means committing adultery or mixing with an
evil person or losing money to a deceitful and a hypocritical person. If one sees

a dream, it means that he has committed something which he regrets. Consequently he will suffer losses because of it. To have a wedding with a deceased
person and to move to his or her house in the dream means one's own death.
Walking behind a deceased person and entering an unknown house from which

he will near his death, then recuperate from his illness. If a deceased person
beats the person seeing the dream, it means that one has displeased his Lord
and has committed an abominable act from which he should repent, for in the
abode of truth, a deceased person accepts only what pleases God Almighty and
dislikes what He dislikes. If one sees a living person beating a deceased person
who is willingly submitting to his fate in a dream, it represents the spiritual and
religious strength and the rank of the living person, his charities, prayers,

Joining the funeral prayers in a dream means fostering brotherhood with
people on God’s path. Walking by a funeral procession in a dream is interpreted
